All right, so maybe Dennis Miller pads his jokes with obscure references that only half the audience will get. And, sure, Miller’s political rants don’t fall too far from the Rush Limbaugh tree (get the Arabs… and the Clintons too!). But for all the hot air he blows, Miller is a brilliant comic. Ever heard his bit about the impotence drug, Cialis? According to Miller, it got its name after the inventor tried it and showed his wife the results – “See, Alice?” Zing! (Or is it boing!?) Miller performs Thursday at Hard Rock Live (5747 Seminole Way, Hollywood). Tickets cost $45 to $75. Doors open at 7 p.m. Call 954-523-3309, or visit www.ticketmaster.com.
